Buy and download movies or TV shows

Through the iTunes Store, you can buy or rent movies1, buy TV episodes and season passes1, and download videos to watch without an Internet connection.2

Before you can buy or rent videos from the iTunes Store, you need an Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the account that you use to access Apple services. If you've used other Apple services such as iCloud, sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one.

If you see or near a video in the iTunes Store, you already bought that video. Tap or click and the video downloads to your device2. You won't be charged again for the video. You can also see the movies and TV shows that you previously bought in the Purchased tab of the iTunes Store.

On your Mac or PC

Open iTunes on your Mac or PC, and select Movies or TV Shows from the menu in the upper-left corner. Click iTunes Store at the top of the window, then browse or search to find a specific title or keyword.

If you have a weak Internet connection (such as public Wi-Fi), you can change your device settings to stream or download lower-quality videos. These videos will stream or download faster and use less of your device's storage space.

Switch a lower-quality video format

On your Mac: Open iTunes. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences. Click the Downloads tab, then select "Download high-quality SD videos."

On your PC: Open iTunes. From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Edit > Preferences. Click the Downloads tab, then select "Download high-quality SD videos."

On your Apple TV: Go to Settings > Apps > iTunes Movies and TV Shows, then select Video Resolution to change it from Best Available to Good. You can also choose a specific resolution in Settings > Video and Audio > Resolution.

You can also choose to buy an SD movie or TV show, but it won't include iTunes Extras, or 4K, HDR, or Dolby Vision formats even if you later play it on a device that supports those. To buy an SD video, tap or click "Also Available in SD" on the product page to switch to the SD version, then buy it.
